My new laptop has a Realtek 8723 network controller. I just installed Mint 13 and need a driver, but I have no wired internet on that machine. I am sending from a Windows machine. Can I find a linux driver and put it on a USB drive and transfer it? I've seen other posts for this driver, but all the solutions have been apt-get this or that, which I can't do at the moment. The Toshiba website only has a Win 8 driver.

The wireless card worked in Windows just fine. It's brand new. I don't have wired because I don't have access to the ethernet. My landlord provides wireless. I'm sort of thinking of bringing my laptop some other place I can plug in and see if it would connect that way.
